James Webb Space Telescope Distance from Earth

The distance of James Webb Space Telescope from Earth is currently 0 kilometers, equivalent to 0.000000 Astronomical Units. Light takes to travel from James Webb Space Telescope and arrive to us.

The following chart shows the distance of James Webb Space Telescope from Earth as a function of time. In the chart the distance data is measured in Astronomical Units and sampled with an interval of 1 day.

The value of the reported distance might be somewhat inaccurate around the times of closest approach for objects passing extremely close to Earth. The value of the distance of James Webb Space Telescope from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.

Closest approach of James Webb Space Telescope to Earth

Between January 1970 and January 1970, the closest approach of James Webb Space Telescope to Earth happens on Thu Jan 1 1970 at a distance of -0.120239 Astronomical Units, or -17,987,547 kilometers:

NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.

James Webb Space Telescope rise and set times

Today's James Webb Space Telescope rise, transit and set times from Greenwich, United Kingdom [change] are the following (all times relative to the local timezone Europe/London):

The rise and set times are defined as the time at which the upper limb of James Webb Space Telescope touches the horizon, considering the effect of the atmospheric refraction. As the atmospheric conditions cannot be modeled precisely the times reported here should be considered correct with an approximation of few minutes.
